Herat - 1427
Herat - 1427
This folio from 1427 was commissioned by the Timurid prince Baysunghur in Herat (Afghanistan). It is now preserved in Florence at Villa I Tatti (Berenson collection).
Baysunghur is depicted playing Nard in a garden. He plays with white pieces. One of his pawns was hit and he is obviously behind in the race.
